HR 6959 United States House · 118th Congress

Fix FEDVIP Age Act

HR 6959, the "Fix FEDVIP Age Act," amends federal law to extend dental and vision insurance coverage under the FEDVIP program to dependent children up to age 26, instead of the current age limit of 22. This change directly affects federal employees and their children who are under 26 and currently lose coverage at age 22. The bill modifies Section 8901(5) of Title 5, U.S. Code, by replacing "22" with "26" in the eligibility criteria. The policy change ensures continuity of health insurance for dependent children during a common transitional period, without altering other FEDVIP benefits or costs.
